Sideshifters from Long Reach  
     
 

The most cost-effective way to immediately boost a lift truck driver's productivity is to add a sideshifter or fork positioner. How many times have you seen a driver approach a pallet only to miss the openings or worse have to re-position the forks themselves for varying pocket sizes.

A sideshifter does what it says. It allows the driver to shift the forks left or right to enter a pallet. Fork positioners allow each fork to be moved moved independently and sideshifting fork positioners can do it all!

The benefits of using sideshifters and fork positioners are more than just increased speed and productivity. These attachments can also help drivers avoid injury from manual labor such as repositioning heavy forks by hand.

 

 
     
 

The Long Reach Hi-Visibility Sideshifter design is popular for five reasons:

  Better visibility than competing units due to a nested cylinder arrangement and a thinner profile.
     
  Less weight means more net truck capacity.
     
  Easier installation on any ITA Class II or III carriage with only hand tools
     
  Smooth sideshift action thanks to tough Nylatron upper bearings and UHMW polymer lower bearing pads.
     
  Minimum maintenance - most models are equipped with easy-to-replace disposable cylinders for less downtime and no repacking!
     
 
 
Long Reach Sideshifters are available with or without load backrests. For customers who want to use the trucks existing load backrest, a model like the one shown at the left may be the most inexpensive solution. Models are available pre-drilled to accept backrests from OEM's such as:
 
  Linde-Baker Komatsu
   
  Caterpillar Mitsuibishi
   
  Clark Nissan
   
  Crown Toyota
   
  Hyster TCM
         
  Kalmar Yale and others
